Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies

Brooke Homec
These chocolate chip coconut cookies have been a favorite of mine for years. The coconut gives them such a sweet flavor and keeps them extra chewy, and they're loaded with both milk and semi-sweet chips so they can be everyone's favorite. And the best part is there is no chilling time required.

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup (227 g) butter
  • 1 cup (220 g) brown sugar
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups (420 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups (255 g) chocolate chips mix of milk and semi-sweet
  • 1½ cups (135 g) sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mix until smooth on low speed. Beat in vanilla.
  • Slowly mix in baking powder, baking soda, salt and flour being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.
  • Fold in both kinds of chocolate chips and coconut and stir.
  • Scoop the dough into desired size cookie balls. I like to use a 3 tablespoon scoop for these. Place 8-9 on sheet per baking so they don't run into eachother.
  • Bake for 11-14 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.

Notes

The butter and eggs should not be completely chilled from the fridge, but should also not be room temperature. I try to let them sit out for about 15-30 minutes before I begin my cookie making!
There is no chilling required for this dough, but I still like to if I have the time. It always helps to lend itself to a slightly better flavored cookie, and also helps with the spreading.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
